Application led ctober 19, 1922.

T all whom t may concern Be it known that VIILLIAM Pines, a citi- Zen of the United States, residing` at Seattle, in the county oi King and State of Washington, has invented certain new and useful improvements in Container Covers, of which the following is a specification.

rlhis invention relates to container covers.

An object of the invention is to provide an improved cover tor crooks and jars and the like used in stores for containing pickles, preserves, et cetera, to be dispensed in small quantities.

Another object of the invention is to provide a partial cover section mounted in a rim adapted to lit the upper edge oit the container and form a stationary section, and another partial cover section mounted in a rim fitting within the first rim and rotatabie in said rim, so that the two sections will conipletely cover the container or the last nientioned or movable section may be rotated to provide access to the contents the-reci.

A further object of the invention is to provide a price tag holder on the movable cover section for holding a card indicating the contents and price' thereof, and a handle for operating the movable section.

Another object of the invention is to provide a spoon holder in the stationary section, adapted to receive the handle ot aspoon or dipper in the contents of the container and prevent the handle from slipping into said container.

In the drawings:

Fig. 1 is a plan view ot the cover with the sections in closed position.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view on line 2-2 ot Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view, showing the manner ot holding the lower cover section in place.

A. bowl 1 tor containing materiai, such as pickles, fruit, et cetera, tor sale in a store, is provided at the outer upper edge with an annular recess 2. A stationary rim member V3 is formed on its lower end with an outwardly extending flange 4: having a downwardly turned edge 5, the iiange 4 litt-ing the brim Ot the bowl 1 and the edge 5 seating in the annular recess 2 tor holding the riin in position on the bowl. it is obvious however,

that the edge 5 will extend over the outer edge of the bowl instead of providing the recess 2 for receiving it.

The rim inen'iber is formed intermediate its ends with an inwardly extending annular bead 6, for supporting the glass cover section 7 of semi-circular form, which is held in contact with the rim by lugs 8, which are struck out or the rim or welded thereto at substantially diametrically opposite points and engage the straight edges of the glass tor holding it stationary in the rim.

A. second rim member 9 is provided with an inwardly extending iiange 10 on the lower end for receiving and supporting` a glass cover section 11 ot semi-circular rorm held in place by lags 12 extending from the rim 9 along the straight edge oi: the cover section. The rim member 9 tits in the upper end ont the rim 3 above the cover section therein, and is adapted to be 'freely rotated. therein, so that the cover sections may be disposed over opposite portions of the bowl. and 'form a cover therefor, at which time it will be noted that the straight edges overlap as indicated at 3. A handle 14e is secured to the riin 9 and extends over the straight edge ot the glass plate as shown, providing means which may be grasped for rotating the movable rim 9. 1Near the other end of the straight edge ot the cover section 11, a clip 15 extends around the edge and grips the opposite 'faces or the plate, upstanding projections 16 on the end ot the clip serving to hold a price tag.

rEhe cover section 7 in the stationary rim 3 is provided at 17 with a recess extending through the straight edge. A plate 18 is mounted at the corner ot the cover section being secured to the rim 3 and formed with an inclined portion 19 extending into the recess 17 and adapted to receive and hold the handle of a spoon extending into the container. As shown in the drawing, the spoon does not interfere with the rotation ot' the movable cover to close the container.

ihe clip 15 extending under the glass cov 11 does not interfere in any way with the rotation of the cover as the 'flange 10 separates the plates slightly, and the thickness ot the clip can be made less than the iiange. y

TW hat l claim is:

1. A cover, comprising a rim having a receptacle engaging flange on the lower end, and an inward f extending flange between Ya movable rim mounted in the upper end of the first mentioned rim and above'the cover section, and a cover section mounted in the movable rim and movable therewith, said cover sections being adapted to completely close the opening Within the rims. K y 2. A COVGI, Comprising a stationary rim for fitting a receptacle, a cover section mounted in the rim partially closing the opening therein, a rim movably mounted in the stationary rimn, and a cover section mountedtherein partially lling vsaid rim, said cover sections being adapted to completely! close the opening through the rims. '3. A cover, comprising a stationary rim for fitting a receptacle, a cover section mounted 1n the rim partially closing the opening therein and. formed with a recess in one edge, a plate having a portion tting in said recess mounted on said cover section and forming a spoon holder, a rim movably mounted in the stationary rim, and a cover the stationary rim, a cover section partiallyl filling said movable rim, and a handle car ried by the movable Arim and cover section by which it is moved, said cover sections being adapted tocompletely Yclose the opening through the rims.y s

v 5. A cover, comprising a stationary rim for fitting a receptacle, a ,cover rsection mounted in the rim partially closing the opening therein, a rim movably mounted in the stationary rim, a cover section partially filling said movable rim, and a price tag holder mounted on the cover section in the movable rim. f

In testimonyl whereof I atiix my signature.
